By using the line data, the user can create models via the PREPROCESS/ELEMENT OPTIONS menu. The functions in this menu can be used to create a 2-, 3-, or 4-LINE MESH directly from the line data. In addition, lines can be used to generate surfaces using the SURFACE option menu located in the PREPROCESS/SURFACE menu. The created surfaces can be auto meshed via the SURFACE MESH command found in the ELEMENT option menu. The line data can be imported to eta/DYNAFORM database using the FILE/IMPORT command.
